The assignment:
Make boing to bed an experience for your child.
The Prototype:
Using an arduino Uno, a servo motor, a sensor, a log of wood, some LED's and some wire the firefly project came to life. Before the child goes to sleep he can chose one of 4 mini-dolls. Each doll has an magnet at the bottom. When the child gets into bed he just needs to place the doll on top of the wood. The magnet will start the sequence. The platform wil vibrate slightly and the LED lights will flicker like fireflies. After a while the fireflies go to sleep and so does the child.
